Adhesive means for connecting a web end on a material roll and corresponding method

ABSTRACT

An adhesive strip is usable to prepare a material roll for a flying roll change. A support strip has at least one adhesive layer or stripe on its upper surface. A further adhesive zone is provided on the undersurface of the support strip. The adhesive zone includes at least two adhesive layers which are separated from each other by a backing paper. An additional separate adhesive strip is also placed on the undersurface of the support strip, spaced from the adhesive zone and without a backing paper.

[0001] The invention relates to an adhesive means for connecting a web starting end of a roll of material and method, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, 5 or 6.

[0002] EP 1 022 245 A2 discloses an adhesive means for flying roll change, wherein an adhesive location exhibits a separable location.

[0003] DE 198 30 674 A1 discloses an adhesive means for flying roll change, wherein two edge regions of an adhesive location each exhibit a separable location.

[0004] From WO 98/52857, a method for adhesive location preparation of a material web is known. This publication also discloses various devices for performing this method. In this method, the web starting end of the new paper web is gripped and so conducted in paper guide devices that adhesive means, for example adhesive labels, can be placed extending beyond the cut edge of the web starting end on the outer side. Then the paper web is wound back onto the paper roll, so that the adhesive means protruding beyond the cut edge can come to rest on the periphery of the paper roll and in this way fix the web starting end on the periphery. The result in this method of adhesive location preparation of a paper roll is, therefore, that the adhesive means covers the cut edge of the web starting end.

[0005] DE 43 39 309 A1, DE 296 21 879 U1 and DE 198 30 673 A1 describe adhesive means for preparing a roll of material for flying roll change, wherein a support band is connected with the upper side of the web starting end by means of an adhesive zone and another adhesive zone with the second material ply of the roll and the outer side of the support band with the old web.

[0006] In the case of the adhesive strips of DE 40 33 900 A1, the separating of the adhesive strips occurs between an adhesive zone of a support band and an adhesive strip. A splitting between the adhesive location arranged on the second ply between two adhesive strips is not provided.

[0007] An object of the invention is to provide an adhesive means for connecting a web starting end of a roll of material and method.

[0008] The object is achieved in accordance with the invention by the features of claim 1, 5 or 6.

[0009] An advantage obtainable with the invention lies particularly in that the adhesive means for fixing the web starting end on the periphery of the new roll of material covers the cut edge from above, so that it is easy to apply.

[0010] By the separating of two adhesive strips in their connection zone, a defined separable location is created, without having to cut or tear parts. In the withdrawing of the web starting end from the periphery of the new roll of material during the adhering to the old material web, the adhesive means for fixing the web starting end do not have to be separated through, for which, for example, a perforation in the adhesive means would have to be provided. Instead, the web starting end can simply be withdrawn from the periphery of the new roll of material, with the withdraw force having to be at least great enough to overcome the holding strength of the adhesive means between the periphery of the new roll of material and the web starting end. This method is especially advantageous, when an adhesive means, for example an adhesive tape, is used, that can be split along the plane of its body. In withdrawing the web starting end, the adhesive means then splits in the dividing plane, so that one part is drawn in with the web starting end and the other part remains on the web periphery. No separate labels are needed, so that a continuous adhesion is possible.

[0011] Examples of embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and are described below in greater detail.

[0012] The drawings show as follows:

[0013]FIG. 1 a cross sectional view of an adhesive means for adhesive location preparation of a roll of material;

[0014]FIG. 2 a schematic side view of a processing phase during the adhesive location preparation.

[0015] To perform the method, an adhesive means 01 in the form of an adhesive tape can be used, as such is shown schematically in cross section in FIG. 1.

[0016] The adhesive means includes a support band 05, which gives mechanical strength to the adhesive means 01 and in which pulling forces can be transmitted.

[0017] On the upper side of support band 05 is an adhesive strip 03, which is formed by application of a corresponding adhesive material on the support band 05 and which is protected by a cover strip 06.

[0018] On the underside of support band 05 is likewise located an adhesive strip, as well as an additional adhesive zone 08. This adhesive zone 08 has at least two adhesive strips 9, 10, which are separated from one another by a splitting paper 04. The adhesive strip 02 is one-ply and formed without splitting paper 04.

[0019] The two adhesive locations 02, 08 found on the underside of the support band 05 can be separated from one another by a gap 07.

[0020] It is also conceivable to place a plurality of one-ply adhesive locations 02 on the underside of the support band 05, these being separated from one another by a plurality of gaps 07.

[0021] The use of the adhesive means 01 in carrying out the methods are shown schematically in FIG. 2.

[0022] As can be seen in FIG. 2, the adhesive means 01 is applied on the web starting end 11 and the periphery 12, i.e. a second material ply 12, manually or by use of suitable mechanical gripping elements of the new material roll 13, e.g. paper roll 13.

[0023] For this purpose, the web starting end 11 is e.g. laid out flush on a working table and the web starting end 11 is cut to form an exact, cut edge parallel or inclined to the rotational axis of the material roll 13. In this connection the adhesive means is fixed on the web starting end 11 by congruent placement of the first adhesive strip along the cut edge on the web starting end 11. The second adhesive strip 03 is still covered with covering strip 06 in this phase of the process.

[0024] After fixing of the adhesive means on the web starting end 11 of the material web 15, e.g. of a paper web 15, the material roll 13 is rewound in the direction of the motion arrow 16.

[0025] As this happens, the web starting end 11 and the adhesive means 01 are pressed against the periphery 12 of the material roll 13 by a pressure element (not shown) formed in the manner of a paper lead, or guide, roller. The adhesive means 01 reaches with the adhesive zone 08 into the area of the periphery of the new material roll 13, so that, with the contact of the adhesive zone 08 with the periphery 12, the web start end becomes fixed on the periphery. Then, the cover strip 06 is removed from the adhesive band 03. With that, the adhesive location on the new material roll 13 is now completely prepared.

[0026] Following mounting of the new material roll 13 in a roll changer (not shown), pressing of the adhesive strip 03 against another material web connects start end 11 with the material web to be replaced.

[0027] Upon subsequent pulling of the web start end 11 from the periphery of the new material roll 13, adhesive zone 08 splits along a splitting paper 04 between the adhesive strips 09 and 10, so that, after fixing of the adhesive zone 08 on the material web 12, the adhesive means 01 gets divided by splitting between the adhesive means 09 and 10.
